New Dir en grey album

Lol---

I was actually discussing with another Jrock friend about the coincidence of Dir en Grey's album coming out on March 9th. Both Gazette's and Kagrra's new maxi singles come out on the same day. Record companies trying to sabotage up-and-comings? I think so.

Anyway--- I don't really mind the changing from VK to a more raw look... The music certainly has changed from being more poppy ((gotta love Yoshiki)) in some ways--- to now being a little more cynical ((whereas in the past the lyrics were cynical but the music wasn't always so)). I like it. It shows maturity.

Regarding the fans... well--- has anyone here heard of the 1000 cranes project? It's sorta a thing by international fans to make 1000 cranes for Dir en Grey--- all sending wishes to the band about there always being fans for them. Regardless of the change in their style. Basically promoting diversity in their stuff.

It's just so sad that a lot of fans have stopped listening to Dir en Grey simply because they aren't "Visual Kei" anymore. That's BS. It's always about the music or else they aren't true fans.

Oh yeah. And about the album... I can't wait either. It's gonna be the first Jrock CD that I'll ever preorder and I know it's gonna be super expensive... but it's worth it. This band is amazing.

Are fans seriously doing that!? That's soooo sweet. >>;;;
I wish I never forgot how to make cranes or I'd make a few right now.
I don't care if Diru's not visual, their music is awesome. I really love their most recent singles. I can't wait for the album. Gods, it's going to be heavenly. ^^;
